Among the many different approaches to "templating" with Perl--such as Embperl,
Mason, HTML::Template, and hundreds of other lesser known systems--the Template
Toolkit is widely recognized as one of the most versatile. Like other templating
systems, the Template Toolkit allows programmers to embed Perl code and custom
macros into HTML documents in order to create customized documents on the fly.
But unlike the others, the Template Toolkit is as facile at producing HTML as
it is at producing XML, PDF, or any other output format. And because it has its
own simple templating language, templates can be written and edited by people
who don't know Perl. In short, the Template Toolkit combines the best features
of its competitors, with ease-of-use and flexibility, resulting in a technology
that's fast, powerful and extensible, and ideally suited to the production and
maintenance of web content and other dynamic document systems.
In Perl Template Toolkit you'll find detailed coverage of this increasingly
popular technology. Written by core members of the technology's development team,
the book guides you through the entire process of installing, configuring, using,
and extending the Template Toolkit. It begins with a fast-paced but thorough tutorial
on building web content with the Template Toolkit, and then walks you through
generating and using data files, particularly with XML. It also provides detailed
information on the Template Toolkit's modules, libraries, and tools in addition
to a complete reference manual.
Topics in the book include:
- Getting started with the template toolkit
- The Template language
- Template directives
- Filters
- Plugins
- Extending the Template Toolkit
- Accessing databases
- XML
- Advanced static web page techniques
- Dynamic web content and web applications
The only book to cover this important tool, Perl Template Toolkit is essential
reading for any Perl programmer who wants to create dynamic web content that is
remarkably easy to maintain. This book is your surefire guide to implementing
this fast, flexible, and powerful templating system.

complete, well explained, a must have, AWESOME!!!!!!
For several years I have been "collecting" the animal books from O'Reilly, none of them have been as complete and so well written as this one. The explanations are complete and the examples are also well presented. The configurations that are presented also work right out of the book. Overall, This have been the best O'Reilly book that I have read. Great job to the team that worked on this book.
